It may not usually be considered the most lucrative game in the world of gambling, but keno has loads of zealous fans. As well it should! It’s a routinely exciting lottery-ish game that’s a snap to play, abundantly available in tons of assorted formats, and one that may yield millions of dollars for people who learn its endless subtle nuances. But let’s begin with the beginner’s rules for now.

However, to take that comparison too far might be to minimize the innumerable unique traits that make keno so exciting. Unlike bingo, keno enthusiasts have the freedom to pick the numbers for every card.
Keno cards have a total of eighty numbers, but the player is granted an extra level of personal responsibility by being able to choose as numerous (or as few) numbers as he or she feels they need. And it doesn’t take a genius to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark all your chosen numbers with a normalpen like you used when you were in school.
Now that you have picked your numbers, carry your keno card back to the girl at the keno booth. The nice person will record those numbers and then give you a receipt. Make sure no to drop this (potentially) expensive piece of paper! Even if the keno pit manager remembers your face and would like to help out, without a winning slip in hand, you will collect exactly $.00 for your efforts.

Once you’ve selected your numbers, get into a comfy keno booth and observe the action unfold on the keno monitor. That’s where the winning numbers show up for all to see. If you marked winners, mark your card appropriately. Sake care not to take your time, or sit there congratulating yourself for an obnoxious length of time. You are required to get up to the keno booth to collect your winnings, as a new round of keno will almost certainly start up within 5 minutes.
Strategy #2: always get back to the keno booth on time!
Since you can’t trust yourself to make that 5 minute margin each and every time, you always have the option of buying a "multi-race" card. These include the very same set of your selected numbers on anywhere from 2 to 20 tickets. When the max amount of rounds (the same as the number of tickets) is finished, you are then able to get off your lazy rump and go retrieve your winnings.
Yet another option is known as a "stray and play" keno slip, which normally allows you make number picks for thirty rounds or more. Gosh, you can take a world tour and not have to get uptight about getting back in time to collect your winnings. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after purchase!
So now you are aware of a few indispensable methods for winning keno. If you are a good user, they might seem to be incredibly obvious. However, it will not hurt to brush up on the basics, and if you are a beginner gambler, every bit of advice will help make your keno wagering more entertaining.
